Head-to-Head Results
Udinese have enjoyed some considerable success against Milan in recent years, going W5-D3-L4 across all competitions since January 2014, and despite a lack of investment over the summer, they’ll hope manager Igor Tudor can pick up where he left off.
The Croatian has been drafted in at the tail end in each of the past two seasons to save them from the drop, winning five of his 11 games at the helm last term, which was a marked improvement upon a record of six wins from 27 matches under a combination of Julio Velazquez and Davide Nicola.
Udinese Draw No Bet And Both Teams To Score
Udinese were consistently better on home turf last season and are an impressive W6-D3-L1 across their past 10 at the Friuli, leaving Milan looking far too short at the prices, especially when taking into account that unfavourable head-to-head record.
Further, the Rossoneri are just W3-D1-L4 on the opening day of the season over the past eight years, losing three from four on their travels as the only side they beat was an eventually relegated Crotone outfit in 2017/18.
Milan have just five clean sheets from their last 23 away games in Serie A and with that in mind, Udinese appear a solid prospect draw no bet, while the both teams to score market also comes into play.
Gennaro Gattuso was passionate but never fully convinced as a tactician and Milan have plumped for Marco Giampaolo by way of replacement. The 52-year-old produced three consecutive top-half finishes with Sampdoria before moving on this summer, but may need some time to get to grips with his new squad.
They’ve been far from impressive in pre-season, losing to Bayern and Benfica, drawing with Man Utd and Cesena, while their sole win came over Kosovan outfit Feronikeli as they’ve struggled to find the net. Udinese may have started pre-season poorly, but they’ve won all three games in August so far against Besiktas (2-0), San Luigi (9-2) and then a Coppa Italia matchup with Sudtirol (3-1).
Total Goals
Both sides have scored in seven of nine head-to-head meetings since April 2015, though this hasn’t been a high-scoring fixture down the years with most of those finishing either 2-1 or 1-1. In fact, 17 of the past 18 clashes going back to May 2011 have seen a maximum of three goals, with 12 of the last 17 seeing either two or three goals in total. Milan may have scored the fewest amongst the top six last term, though goal machine Krzysztof Piatek and the creative Lucas Paqueta didn’t arrive until January and they should have enough about them to register a strike of their own.
